INTRODUCTION 

 
Scope of applications 

Our  COMBIped

 

brace  can  be  used  as  a  remedy  against  deformed, 

ingrown and rolled-in nails that cause pain. The brace will help to use a 
wire brace, even if one side of the nail edge is accessible only. 
 
Depending on the type  of application, the brace can be fixed to apply 
tension on either both sides of the nail or one side only.  

 

 

> If you need to apply tension on 

both sides

the  brace  should  be  as  long  as  possible  and 
should  stretch  accross  the  entire  width  of  the 
nail.  You  may  also  set  two  COMBIped

  braces 

one  after  the  other  (also  with  different  wire 
sizes). 
 
 
 
>  If  the  effect  is  required  on 

one  side

  only, 

the  brace  will  be  made  shorter  and  the 
adhesive  pad  affixed  in  the  middle.  The  effect 
will then be focused on the wire side. 

 

 

 
 

>  In  order  to  cure  a  heavily  rolled-in  nail,  the 
COMBIped

 

brace  should  be  inserted  as  far  to 

the rear as possible. 

 
 
 
 

 

>  In  an  acute  pain  scenario,  please  place  the 
COMBIped

  brace  approx.  2  mm  behind  the 

pain area.
